The Humane AI Pin is a fascinating little equipment for gadget fans.
“The worst product I’ve ever reviewed… for now” concluded Marques Brownlee.
Yet few of the reviews think the AI Pin is completely without merit.
We haven’t yet reviewed theRabbit R1, but that will probably hold true for a while yet.
Unfortunately, he simply couldn’t find many positives, aside from the design.
“The build of this thing is actually impressive”, he says of the solid, aluminum gadget.
Unfortunately, it’s also “bad at almost everything it does”.
The battery life was also strangely inconsistent, and the unit was worryingly warm a lot of time.
Without connecting to your smartphone or offering any apps, the AI Pin is strangely adrift.
“As of right now, the Human Pin is an incredibly poor proposition” he concluded.
As other reviews noted, it all goes downhill after you see the hardware.
Cue a 13-second wait for it to mis-identify the Brooklyn Bridge and other unintentionally hilarious gaffes.
Gurman’s conclusion is that the bugs and slow response times aren’t the AI Pin’s main problem.
Instead, the voice control and laser projection system make it “a nonstarter for most people”.
What next for the Humane AI Pin?
Understandably, Humane has defended its new gadget from the wave of scathing reviews.
So what next for the AI Pin?
